- of the Rebbe’s Parting Teaching ~ Ma'amar Ve'atah Tetzaveh.
Part Seven " " features in-depth textually grounded study of the Eighth Chapter of the Ma'amer that effectively synopsizes the primary themes of the rumination and traces the illuminating ideas back to their biblical Source.
Yet as we carefully spell out the main points in parallel to the scriptural syntax the Code doesn't seem to match the Thesis. Deciphering this ostensible inconsistency will ultimately lead into a paradigm shift of our understanding of Chasidic philosophy and a revolutionary re-framing of traditional Torah theology!

This chapter is the watershed point from which the Ma'amer segues into a new spiritual horizon, boldly staking new scrimmage in the terra incognita of our Torah landscape!
